New Delhi, November 17
India and China will hold a virtual meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on Thursday, after the stalemate during the meeting of military commanders on October 10.
The broad-based WMCC is led by the senior diplomat Naveen Srivastava and includes Army officials, the Indo Tibetan Border Police and the Ministries of Defence and Home. The Chinese also have an equally broad-based representation.
The discussions will include disengagement from Hot Springs and Depsang.
At the October 10 meeting, India had implied that the Chinese were not being accommodative. The Indian side made constructive suggestions for resolving the remaining areas “but the Chinese side was not agreeable and also could not provide any forward-looking proposals. The meeting thus did not result in resolution of the remaining areas,’’ the MEA had then said in a statement.
